SE PUEDE SENTIR PIEDAD POR QUIEN HA SIDO UN MONSTRUO?

Un nuevo caso de Juan Urbano entre la Espa?a de hoy y los a?os m?s oscuros del franquismo y la dictadura argentina.

«A mediocamino entre el Philip Marlowe de Chandler, el Zuckerman de Philip Roth y el Carvalho de V?zquez Montalb?n .
Jes?s Ruiz Mantilla, El Pa?s

«Olv?dense del lugar com?n, no hay nada fr?o en la venganza, s?lo brasas que reviven con el m?s leve soplo .

Buenos Aires, 1987: unos misteriosos asaltantes fuerzan la tumba del general Per?n y roban sus manos. Se barajaron teor?as esot?ricas, pol?ticas y econ?micas, pero el enigma nunca ha sido resuelto: qui?nes se las llevaron y por qu??

Madrid, 2024: una nueva ley de memoria hist?rica abre la puerta a encausar a algunos represores del franquismo y Juan Urbano recibe el encargo de dar con El electricista, uno de los torturadores m?s temidos del r?gimen, que chantaje? y despoj? de sus bienes a algunos detenidos y a sus familias.

El profesor-detective nos llevar? de la casa de Per?n en Espa?a, donde se juntaban nazis con masones y se practicaban rituales de magia negra con la momia de Evita, al Torremolinos de los a?os setenta, mezcla de tugurios y estrellas de Hollywood, pasando por los para?sos fiscales donde escondieron su dinero muchos asesinos.

Qui?n fund? la Triple A? Por qu? algunos de sus pistoleros actuaron en Espa?a, por ejemplo, el 23-F? Qu? fue de Isabelita, la tercera esposa de Per?n? D?nde est? la fortuna del tres veces presidente de Argentina? En un laberinto cada vez m?s peligroso, todas las preguntas desembocan en el gran dilema final: se puede sentir piedad por quien ha sido un monstruo?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

CAN ONE PITY A MONSTER?

In the latest Juan Urbano case, the dark years of the Franco and Argentine dictatorships cast their shadow over today's Spain.

Buenos Aires, 1987: Mysterious vandals break into the tomb of General Juan Per?n and steal his hands. Speculation about their motive runs the gamut from esoteric to political and purely financial motives, but the enigma remains unsolved: who desecrated the corpse, and why?

Madrid, 2024: A new Historical Memory Law opens the possibility of prosecuting members of the Franco regime for their crimes. Professor-detective Juan Urbano is tasked with finding The Electrician, one of the most feared torturers of the times, who blackmailed and extorted detainees and their families.

Urbano's research takes him from Per?n's former residence in Spain, where Nazis rubbed shoulders with Freemasons and rumored black magic rituals took place with Evita's mummified corpse, to the Torremolinos of the 1970, a mix of beach shacks and Hollywood stars, as well as on side trips to the fiscal havens where many of the dictators' lackeys stashed their ill-gotten gains.

Who founded the Triple A? Why were some of its militants active in Spain; for example, in the 23-F coup attempt? What happened to Isabelita, Per?n's third wife? Where is the fortune of the three-time Argentine president hidden? In a labyrinth that becomes ever-more dangerous, all these questions lead to an overarching final dilemma: Is it possible to feel pity for someone who committed monstruous acts?
